You're only young once...

So the 23rd year came and went and here we are on the doorstep of 24. I am done with graduation, pursing post grad, working and dancing (something I love doing the most), shouldering more responsibilities than I thought I would have at this age and I am married ! 

I used to be a somewhat insane person !! My insanity has gone for a toss!! It doesn't feel like me anymore. I am so much more practical and rational. 
I used to be so unorganized. (No debating allowed on that.)
Now I clean my cupboards every 2 weeks!
I use to sit quietly and ponder the universe and all its wonders
Now I wonder just where in the universe  the quiet went. 
I used to write poetry and sing songs.
Now I talk to myself and debate the TV.
I use to just go into my bathroom to do what I needed.
Now I have to perform covert ops to get there so I can be uninterrupted.
I used to eat meals and enjoy. I still do. 
I used to go out with friends and talk.
Now I blog and update on facebook.
I used to be able to think clearly.
Then I think, I just grew up!

From a Megacity to a SMALL city !!

Light and luxury have the power to fascinate anyone and everyone. A big city has a lot to offer ! Good scope, good standard of living, great exposure, better transportation, there are cinemas, restos,hotels, parks,recreation centres, universities, malls, patisseries, pubs, theatres and operas and the very famous rat race as well amongst many other things that one comes across int he big cities.
Yes, one would agree that a big giant city gives you the luxurious life with some candy floss to make it glossy IF and only IF you have " it " in you.This " it " factor basically the sparked and wild survival insticnt within. 'Survival of the fittest' is the only rule that one has to master to live successfully in a big city. In the contemporary times, we all have witnessed the gigantic flow of masses drift towatrds the big centres in search of jobs, career, education, money, luxury.
Somehow there are still some others left who desire to delve into the simpler pleasures of life that only a small city / town can offer.
Here are some great advantages of living in a small city :

  • Great chance to make new friends. Small city, lesser people, more bonding !
  • TIME. People always have time. Time to stop and talk. Time to do what they like.
  • You can always trust your neighbours or other people be of help in case need arises. People are more concerned about one another and take good interest in one anothers' lives.
  • You never have too much to travel to go anywhere, whether to school or college, or to shop, or even to work !
  • There's always plenty of fresh air to breathe in !
  • You can always sleep peacefully in the nights as late night transportaion frequency is lesser here.
  • Country life gives you the chance to reconnect with nature and all that settles within it's abode.
  • You can hear the birds in the trees, have huge backyards, gardens and a home which is a lot more than a 400 sq feet room!
  • In the nights you can actually do stargazing unlike in the big cities where the city lights and pollution dispair the vision.
Lastly,if you are a person with an adapting nature and can take change easily,then going from the rat race life to a simplistic life in a small city might just work for you !
